00:00My friend, he said that he went to this meditation chamber and he started meditating and he went to some other zone.
00:08Several very popular teachers have openly advocated the use of psychedelics to achieve so-called higher states of consciousness.
00:17I need not clarify that all this is a sham.
00:20It is an absolute and disgusting thing, absolutely disgusting thing to say that you can achieve higher consciousness by actually lowering your consciousness.
00:31Spirituality is all about being able to see life clearly, being able to understand your own mind better.
00:40We anyway already lead very intoxicated lives.
00:44Don't we live like drunkards?
00:46Look at the way we function, look at the way we desire something, look at the way we move about and stumble and fall and then blame others.
00:54All that is anyway symptomatic of drunkenness.
